Kyiv accuses Moscow of a concerted effort to degrade Ukraine’s energy system before winter, when people need electricity and heating most.

Russian strikes have resulted in rolling blackouts in Ukraine and limited electricity supply to some regions for a few hours a day. Kyiv has retaliated by attacking the energy infrastructure in Russia.

Rutte told a joint press conference on Tuesday with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb that NATO “must and will do more to help Ukraine. Russia continues to carry out missile strikes against Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure. Ukraine could be facing its toughest winter since a full-scale invasion began.”

According to Rutte, providing Ukraine with more military aid would end the war faster.

“I welcome Finland’s continuous support to Ukraine. You [Stubb] have delivered a significant amount of support—over €2 billion in military aid. What Finland is doing helps save lives. And the more military support we give, the faster this war will end,” added the NATO chief.
